Yes....#1 is the one. The bokeh highlights in the 2nd sort of ruin the shot a bit. Still good but not great like #!.

EDIT: The more I look at the 2nd, the more I love the pose, eye contact, head angle and the water droplet. Maybe darken the background to pitch black like the first one....that would rock

Great feedback there, Geoff! I actually have a version where I've darkened the BG more, but I thought it began looking a bit unnatural. I'll post it here and leave it for you and others to opine whether or not you think it works. Thanks!

EDIT: Now looking at them again side by side, I definitely like the second (darker) version better.

I quite like the starkness of #1 Mitesh. Predominantly black and white with a bit of color in the beak/eyes. Very nice work. And I prefer the darker version of #2 as well.

I like dark bg, Mitesh. Makes the subject more vivid and powerful and enphasize the fine detail. Good job!

Either version of #2 works for me. I appreciate your work in #1 and what you are going for, but it doesn't do it for me, where as #2 makes me happy. Don

Thanks, Karl! I love it when I get suggestions that force me to go back and re-think an image and make it better!
